Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Cheesecake Bites expire?
Cheesecake Bites are a tasty treat, and like all good things, they won't last forever. If unopened and refrigerated, cheesecake bites last up to a week past the sell-by date. If opened or homemade, try to consume them within three to four days. If you place them in the freezer, they can last up to 8 months.
How do you tell if Cheesecake Bites is bad?
It's pretty straightforward to figure out if cheesecake bites have gone bad. First signs are an off smell, usually sour or an odd, sickly-sweet smell not present when the bites were fresh. Also, search for mould. Even a small green or white spot means it's time to toss them. Finally, if the cake has developed a watery or slimy texture, this is a sure sign they've expired.
Tips for storing Cheesecake Bites to extend shelf life
• Store your cheesecake bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This will keep them safe from contaminants and extend their shelf life.
• If you can't finish them before they go off, don't fret—you can freeze them! Just individually wrap in cling film before freezing them.
• Always keep cheesecake bites in the main fridge compartment, not the door, where temperature fluctuations can speed up spoilage.
• When defrosting, place them in the fridge overnight. This slow, gentle technique prevents a soggy or overly soft texture.
